In school
    you're given the lesson
               then the test.

                   In life
        you're given the test
            then the lesson.

                 One of the
   reasons people fail in life
                 is because
   they listen to their friends
                 and family.

              You  need  you,
                       more
          than you need them.
                   Trust me.

       Greatness and madness
                    are next
             door neighbors
                   and they
           borrow each others
                      sugar.

            And in the end
                       all I
                    learned
                       was
           how to be strong
                    alone.                                                           Jon York   2019
